AMC HD on...

[Brodieb]

Yes - The Walking Dead will be in HD on Dish! This is awesome news.

That is the main reason that I have been wanting AMC in HD, and I like Breaking Bad too. But I agree the movies are not worth watching, with the edits and the commercials. I can remember when AMC used to be kind of like Turner Classic Movies is now, commercial free.

I'm a "Breaking Bad" fan so I'm happy to see AMC in HD, but I agree with others here, AMC really cuts the hell out of movies. Such a shame, since movies are what gave them their start.
Looking at the HD feed, it looks pretty good, but I need to watch it longer to really tell.

This is great news! I thought AMC was on the "no chance" list. What's next, MLB Network?

So when is IFC and WE coming?

WE? Are you serious. Or just henpecked.

What are the rainbow channels besides AMC, IFC and WE??

 

[Bradp56]

I would love to have IFC HD one day this is a good step in the right direction.

According to Wiki, a channel called Wedding Central which is allegedly in HD on some cable systems. Also Sundance, but I don't think that's being broadcast in HD yet.

Woohoo. I have a new #1 timer. Mad Men!

Rubicon on right now looks soooo much better in HD. Now you actually appreciate the slow pace because at least it's shot nice, instead of seeing a big blurry dark mess on the screen.

Maybe in liew of some channel that is supposed to be included in Dish America packages and is not could be replaced by 130. If I cross my fingers waiting, though, I will probably have permanent pretzel fingers.

Rainbow Media Holdings LLC Homepage

Sundance and Wedding Entertainment, also.

Nope - Fuse's owned by MSG Media:

Which is a subsidiary of Cablevision, as is Rainbow.

I thought CV was spinning off Rainbow - I'll dig down more later on today.

 

[TravelFan1]

very interesting thing about this launch, imho: No PR announcement from either Dish or Rainbow media so far.

Back in 2006, but not now. But it does not matter. People are making way too much of Cablevision/Rainbow/MSG being separate. They are all run by the same people.

Anyone know what package(s) are getting or will get AMC HD? Absolute?

 

[GaryPen]

Still not getting it. But, commercial customers always get these HD additions a few days after residential. (Some of them don't map correctly, either.)

 

[Koilvr]

I dont see AMC HD up yet either.
